As part of the celebration, 972 with the travel agency, planned a 4D 3N to Hanoi, Vietnam.
I took part in the trip too.
Day 1 - 18th Sep 08
Departing in the afternoon, an air journey of 3 hours, finally I reached Hanoi around quarter past 6 in the evening. After check out the customs, the tour leader brought us to our first dinner in Hanoi. Along the way, we saw the great number of motorcycles on the road.
After dinner, we check in the hotel. First time staying alone on a trip, the room was great. A king size bed + another single bed, a comfortable relax corner. Too bad the reception on tv not too good so not able to watch their programmes.
Since the night still young, I went out with 4 new frens on the group. We went to a small coffee shop near the hotel to try how nice Vietnamese coffee is. Having a nice cup of coffe, the night sleep was nice too.
Day 2 - 19th Sep 08
After breakfaast, we set off and start the day. First stop is the People's Heroes memorial and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Then followed by the residence of Ho Chi Minh.
Afterwhich, we had buffet lunch which served typical Vietnamese style food.
Following after lunch, we proceed to a tricyle ride round the 36 ancient streets. Sitting on the tricyle is really a thrill like taking a adventure ride. These triycle drivers are really good going through the streets.
After a heart-throbbing journery, we went for the unique Vietnamese cultural performance - Vietnamese Water puppets. The hour show basically showing the history of Vietnam through the puppets.
We went back to the same restaurant previous night for dinner. As the following day will be a tough one, we head straight back to hotel for an early rest.
But actually the night was still young, the tour guide together with her girlfriend, brought us to Hoan Kiem Lake. We ordered some finger food and beer. Seat by near the lake, we enjoyed the night breeze, try to understand more of the Vietnamese society, drinking away.
After spending about 2 hours at the lakeside, the tour guide needs to return to the hotel for a meeting. Therefore, we left the lake.
